Not sure why Harley is shedding so much, I thought that was one of the benifits of raw? He has never shed this much before? Just thought it was kind of odd, (New to dogster, first post! hello everyone

All the hair has to be lost every year. It is how it happens that might change. Healthy skin holds on to the hair and loses it in a shorter time period while dry unhealthy skin drops hair constantly. Give your dog a bath and brush until completely dry, gets out gobs of hair at one time.

Sassy's best shed was during a camping trip in hot weather. By the time we were home all the old coat was gone and there were ZERO Sassy dust puppies in the house until the following year. The worst was when she was dehydrated and developing kidney issues, if you touched her a cloud of dandruff and hair swirled around her.
